Jeffrey J. Loy founded the Center for Animal Behavioral Research in 1975. Prior to establishing his own business, Jeff was an instructor, trainer and researcher at the Seeing Eye in Morristown, NJ. His formal education is in mathematics and physics. Yet, even as a young boy, Jeff has always been interested in animals. By observing how animals behave in their "home" environments, Jeff is able to create programs for rehabilitation.

At the Seeing Eye Jeff performed comparative examination of every available dog training procedure. The study was a detailed analysis of nearly one thousand publications. This study has been extended from 1975 through today and includes methods and techniques from approximately 1500 sources. Jeff Loy mastered all the "old school" and "new school" techniques that have come and gone in the past hundred years. In so doing, Jeff has identified the strengths and weaknesses of each of the different methods. Jeff has identified 144 pitfalls that must be avoided. By avoiding a "gross of mistakes", a dog owner will enjoy an off-leash, reliable dog under all circumstances for life.

What does "off-leash, reliable", "under all circumstances" really mean? The second part of the research Jeff performed at the Seeing Eye was: Is there a way to get a Seeing Eye dog to perform flawlessly for its blind master or mistress, even if the dog is being attacked by other dogs? Jeff did exhaustive research to find ways to achieve this goal. This higher level of performance is just as necessary for ordinary dog owners as it is for the blind.
